I am looking for a good set of mid-fi open headphones for around $100. I know that the ms1s and hd555s are my best choices (tell me if I'm wrong).
I won't be using an amp, listen to a variety of music, possibly leaning towards rock, but not very heavy.
My problem is that I know headphones can sound very different driven from a zen micro then most other decent mp3 players. If anyone has experience with either of the above cans, both, or any others they would like to mention out of a zen micro without an amp, and can comment on any differences, please tell me. For example, I think super.fi 3s are much more sibilant out of a zen micro for some reason. (Should I have just gotten an ipod?)
Sorry if I wrote a little too much.
